How fantastic is it to watch the remeberance day march past?. Full of pride for all our service members past and present... especially the royal corps of signals.

Great vid I’m ex 2 Troop (second to none) n loved seeing it how it was when I was there. Look back on it with fondness, but as they say I don’t think I would of wanted to go thru it again. Obviously when the cameras weren’t there the REAL training was done.

@@johnlindsaycollins hey brother, nearly spat out my drink to see I had received a message from a fellow 2 Trooper, I went through in 1989 about 3 years or so after you. Looking at your videos you seem to of had a very similar career to myself. After basic & 8 sigs I was at first on the Div circuit & did the majority of my tours from there.

1987 Ulster troop. Cpl Webb & Sgt Tough... Wow MEMORIES!!!! Running up & down telegraph hill because someone got something wrong, then down again because the last man wasn't quick enough lol. I spent a bit of time in that shed at the side of the parade ground , struggled with the about turn if I remember right. The times we came back from a run & found all our stuff in a pile in the middle of our room.... Wow I can't stop smiling. If I remember right our dining room was split in two the ghurkas were on the other side. Hope Cpl Webb, Sgt Tough & all the lads are all ok, fit & well...

I was at Harrogate, intake 84A, Bradley Sqn. All i remember was when the permenant staff cleared off at night, the Apprentice NCOs were left in charge and thats when the real bullying began! I saw people hung out windows, we were beaten with broom handles. Who can forget the game of bed pack walls, were you got beaten black and blue, and the lovely game of solar plexus! I believe our Apprentice SSM tried to take his own life when he got to his first posting to BAOR. He was a psychopathic narcissist. I left the Signals after seven years having tried to transfer a number of times, but never allowed, as I had a 'trade'. Pretend soldiers.

Did my Staffies Course at 11 Sigs around this time. Remember watching a basic training troop running past us as we were forming up for our morning run. We set off about 5 minutes later - boots, denims, 35lb webbing, helmets and gats and passed them about 3/4 of a mile into our run. It didn't get any easer as you moved up the ranks, lol.
